Fad TH SAAN ARE read EE a ha te WEDNESDAY, - JULY 28;- 1948 ro A FY THE DAILY TIMESKAZETTE rg PAGE ELEVEN Big League Baseball Yesterday By JOE REICHLER - Associated Press Sports Writer Billy Southworth, Boston Braves' manager, continues to have amazing success with castoffs. Southworth's latest "find" is Nelson Potter, veteran righthander he picked up a month ago as a free agent after Potter was fired by Connie: Mack of Philadelphia Athletics. Southworth used Potter strictly in relief roles for three weeks. Tues- day night Nels was used as a start- er for the second time and again came through with a well-pitched game, permitting Pittsburgh Pir- | Chi ates only six hits in defeating them 5-1 in Boston. He did .not allow a run after Ralph Kiner tagged him for his 26th home run in the first inning. Boston's American-League entry, Joe McCarthy's rampaging Red Sox, extended their amazing win- B ning streak to 13 straight games by blanking the Tigers in Detroit, 8-0. Ellis Kinder held Tigers to three hits. Hal Newhouser, Detroit's ace southpaw, was the victim. Boston's triumph, together with the Indians' 10-5 victory over the Athletics in Cleveland, gave the Red Sox a full-game lead in the tight pennant race. Although the Indians trail by a game and a half to Philadelphia's one, they took ov- er second place from the A's through a mathematical oddity. The A's with four more victories and three more defeats than Cleve- land, are -two percentage points behind the Tribe. Brooklyn Dodgers replaced St. Louis Cardinals in the runner-up spot to the Braves in the National League by coming from behind with two runs in the ninth to nip the Redbirds 3-2 in Brooklyn in the only game played in daylight. A misjudged fly by the usually-relia- ble Terry Moore and Pee Wee Reese's run-prodcing fly furnish- ed the tying and winning runs. Larry Jansen turned in his 13th victory of the season as he pitched New York Giants to a 3-0 triumph over Cincinnati Reds. The game marked the home debut of Leo Dur- ocher, New Giant médnager. The victory moved the Giants in- to the first division, half a game ahead of the Pirates and one game behind the Cardinals. Although he was tagged for a grand-slam homer by Sam Chap- man and wasn't around at the finish, Bob Peller was credited with his 10th victory of the season as Cleveland got off on the right foot in its. home stand. Chapman's ho- |. . . mer knotted the count at 5-5 in the fifth, but the Tribe came back with four in the sixth off Phil Marchildon of Penetanguishene, Ont., third Athletic pitcher. Ken Keltner smacked his 23rd home run |; : * for the Indians. Rookie Hank Arft, making his Major League deblut with St. Lou- is Browns, drove in three mns with a triple and home run to lead the Browns to a 4-0 triumph over New York Yankees, Pat Seerey walloped - his 14th home run with Luke Appling on base and two out in the last of the ninth to give Chicago White Sox a 2-1 triumph over Washington Sen- ators.

Glevgiana Chicago New York at St. Louis, nt game, Sports Roundup | By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, July 28--(AP)--Joe Tinker died Tuesday, one of the last survivors of what may have been the greatest baseball team of all . , . We never saw those old Cubs play, but from what we've heard we'd pick the Tinker-Evers- Chance-Steinfeldt infield and Schulte-Scheckard-Hofmann out- field and Kling-Overall-Brown- Pfeister-Reulbach battery combina- tion over any team you could name. . . . They were scrappers----against the opposition and among them- selves--and they won four pennants in five years . . . One version of the famous Tinker-Evers "feud" was that both were so intent that they'd get to fighting every time they spoke and it was chance, the manager, who ordered them not to talk to each other except to shout orders during a play. Unexpected Ending One favorite yarn, told by this writer's father who covered the doings of the 1906-10 Chicago club, concerned the time Tinker tried to throw a game with amazing results. It was a meaningless late-sea- son contest in Boston and the Cubs were eager to get it over . The game dragged into extra innings and each time the Cubs forged ahead, the Braves would tie it up. In the 14th Boston put the tying run on first and Joe remark- ed: "If the ball comes to me, I'll get this blanked game over." , . Sure enough, the batter grounded to short and Tinker, taking a run- ning start, heaved the ball 10 feet over Chance's head, then started off the diamond . . . His throw was 50 strong that'the ball hit the seats and bounded back to Chance. . The peerless leader grabbed it and threw to Kling, catching the run- ner coming home. Johnny relayed to third in time to nab the guy who had hit the ball for a game- ending double play. Matty's Cousin Tinker was noted for his ability to hit Christy Mathewson, ace pitcher of the hated Giants, and he couldn't understand why his teammates had trouble with "big six." . Statistician Ernie Lanigan figured that in hig first year in the majors, Joe hit Matty for a .357 average and in 1908, when the Cubs and Giants had to play off it was Joe who broke up that play- off game by hitting Matty for a triple that started Chicago's win- ning rally . . . Just incidentally when Tinker started playing pro- fessional baseball in Coffeyville, Kas., in 1899 for $35 a month and board, Mathewson 'was getting $10 a week pitching for Taunton, Mass., in the New England League. -BEFORE AND AFTER By ALEX J. MORRISON Befare the playing of the National Open at Riviera, Calif.,, accounts of what to expect brought out a point of great importance to all golfers. Most experts went all out in mak- ing Ben Hogan the man to beat. They made it, "Hogan against the field." The more conservative rode along on the old saying, "In golf anything can happen." The final result is not as important as the comparison between plans and pre- dictions before a performance and the actual result, In this. comparison every golfer can'learn a lot about controlling fu- ture performances. Too often re- sults bear little, if any, relation to the plans made before a shot, a hole or a round is played. The vast dif- ference between what you expect and what you actually get out of your swing is most noticeable when you repeat the same mistakes. After hooking a drive out of bounds you certainly intend to hit the next one straight down the fair- way. Yet there's a good chance you'll hook the second and possibly the third ball just as badly as the first. Why? Simply because you were governed mainly by your ima- gination at the time, A camera would show that you didn't- make the necessary changes in your swing such as some correc tion about your stance, grip, start of your or the position of your head. You simply increased your determination to hit a straight shot without acting accordingly. Without correcting the physical process of your. swing you cannot the desired flight of the ball other than by sheer accident. In short, your plans for a shot should include more than good .in- PES I was Ben Hogan against the field, Jocurding to predictions before the ational Open was played at Rivi- era, Calif.

Syracuse took a 8-3 lacing from the Royals while the Leafs divided a doubleheader with the runner-up Newark Bears, winning the first game 7-0 but losing the setond 8-3. After veteran Jim Konstanty blanked the Bears on three hits to snap their seven-game winning streak, the Bears came back and collected 13 in routing the Leafs in the second game. Joe Collins, with a homer, double and two singles, drove in four runs to lead the Newark drive in the second game. The last-place Baltimore Orioles took both ends of a twin bill from Buffalo Bisons, 4-0 and 5-0.

Public Pays Greyhcund bookmakers, after a lot of grumbling, have decided to pass on the new graduated license tax to--you guessed it--the public. The Bookmakers Protective Asso- ciation recommends that all its members deduct a fixed sum, am- ount to be determined later, from winning bets. The men in the rings won't take anything out of winning single wagers fp to 1 pound ($4) or more than 100 pounds. But sixpence (10 cents) in the pound will be de- ducted from other winning bets. The tax was imposed in the April budget. It ranges frcm 6 pounds to 48 pounds for each race meeting at all dog tracks having totalizators. The bookmakers' decision on de- ductions means that in some cases lanes | total decuctions will exceed the tax. Model School What the Swiss describe as "our most valuable Olympic competitor" is on the way to London. It's a model of Switzerland's greatest pride, her Federal Sports School. The 26-by-eight-foot model, which cost more than $4,000 to build, will be entered in the Olympic archi tectural competition. The school itself is being built in the Jura Mountains at Magglingon, on: of western Swit: d's most scenic spets. It will haye three terraces. One, 2,60., feet. up, will have seven natural swimming pools and a giant gymnasium. No. 2, at 3,400 feet, will be a "training village" and No. 3, at 4,000 feet, will provide footkall and hockey fields and a running track. Ed. Sawyer's Phils Lose to Chicago Cubs Philadelphia, July 28 -- (AP) -- Eddie Sawyer, who never made the grade as a player, came up from Toronto to the majors Tuesday night as Philadelphia Phillies' pilot --and liked what he saw. Eddie's debut as a big-league manager was somewhat marred by t! hils' 3-2 defeat at the hands hicago Cubs in an 1l-inning ball game. The loss, however, apparently didn't serve to dampen Sawyer's spirits. "We played good ball," he said.
